Do not dismiss the notion of HOME AUTOMATION. Home automation
is simply the idea of optimizing the efficiency of systems within the home.

Systems can be as simple as controlling heating and air
conditioning systems to minimize energy costs to complete systems that can
control and automate every electrical system in the home such as lights,
entertainments systems, video surveillance, telephone systems, security systems,
and provide remote access to each.

How would you like to be able to control all
the lights and electrical devices in your home with the push of a button
and save money at the same time? Home Automation is your answer. These
systems pay for themselves in electrical savings.

Cost cutting/Energy saving:

Most automation systems easily pay for themselves in
energy savings. By directing HVAC
and lighting to react specifically to their environment (time of day, outside
temperature, occupied/unoccupied status of a home) such systems are active only
when necessary and dramatically reduce energy costs.

Energy Management and convenience,
those are the top two reasons to purchase a home automation system. Central
controller touch pads can trigger events and scenes affecting light fixtures,
security components, the heating\cooling system, motorized drapes, basic
appliances, pool/spa controls, and automatic fireplaces. Virtually any device in
your home run on electricity or low voltage can be programmed to save
electricity.

Entertainment and Convenience:

Wouldn't You Like To;
Watch or listen to music or video from any room in
the house.
Control any device in your home from anywhere.
Turn on your favorite music when you walk in the door.
Turn off the basement TV from your upstairs bedroom.
Make sure the outside lights turn on at night and off in the
daylight.
Check to see what time the kids really came in at night.
Have the phone ring when the kids come home.
Remind you which nights are garbage nights.
Close your garage door when you go to bed.
Control practically any function of your home's systems.
All of this and more is available at the touch of your fingertips with home
automation.

Remote Control: Do you travel often? Do you own more than one home? Home automation
systems can allow you to fully control all the systems with a home or office
from a remote location. Adjust temperatures, turn lights on and off, set and
reset security systems, even view surveillance cameras from remote locations.

Security & Safety: Your home can actually be in intelligent enough to call you when your
children arrive home safely, warn you when temperatures in the home reach
undesirable levels, alert you when a car pulls into your driveway.
